Classic Car Overview
Power comes from a massive 7.0-liter LS7 V8, equipped with a Stage 2 camshaft, producing an impressive 525 horsepower at the rear wheels. A Tremec 6-speed manual transmission puts the power in your hands, and a Ford 9-inch rear end with 3.50 Posi-Traction gears delivers strong acceleration and relaxed highway cruising. This is the kind of classic Corvette that offers modern performance without sacrificing the excitement of a manual transmission.
Inside, the custom two-tone black-and-cream bucket seat interior perfectly complements the exterior. Modern conveniences include Dakota Digital gauges, push-button start, a touchscreen sound system, Vintage Air air conditioning controls, power windows, and integrated cup holders. The result is a 1959 Corvette for sale that feels equally at home on a road trip or at a local car show.
Underneath, this Chevrolet Corvette has been transformed with a powder-coated Art Morrison chassis featuring C6 Corvette front suspension, a 4-link rear suspension with adjustable coilovers, power rack-and-pinion steering, and four-wheel Wilwood disc brakes. Gorgeous 18-inch Billet Specialties wheels complete the look and hint at the performance hidden beneath the classic bodywork.
For enthusiasts searching for a Corvette for sale, this beautifully executed 50s Corvette delivers the best of both worlds. It has the unmistakable styling of a vintage Vette, combined with the power, handling, and comfort of a modern performance car, making it an exceptional classic Corvette for sale, ready to drive and enjoy!
